Most IPUMS data transformations are performed using variable harmonization tables that specify how each value in the source data is recoded. Some variables also require programming logic in addition to the harmonization table. The harmonization documents for this variable are:
- Harmonization table
- Supplemental programming
- Instructions for interpreting harmonization documents
class Mig2_5_cl : public Editor {
public:
Mig2_5_cl(VarPointer varInfo) : Editor(varInfo) {}
void edit() {
long a = getRecoded();
switch (dataSet) {

Description
MIG2_5_CL indicates the person's commune of residence five years ago in Chile. Migration commune codes in MIG2_5_CL are compatible with codes in GEO2_CL.
Click on the Source Variables tab for information on place of residence for each sample year. Source variables may contain more geographic unit detail but are not suitable for cross-temporal comparison.
Comparability — General
Chile significantly reorganized administrative divisions between 1970 and 1982, so the 1960 and 1970 samples are not included in MIG2_5_CL.
Where boundaries changed over time, units were harmonized to create units with boundaries that remain stable over time. Where officially-defined municipalities/communes have populations less than 20,000, they have been regionalized (combined) with neighboring municipalities.
Boundary changes for MIG2_5_CL are too numerous to list, but users should be aware that there were changes over time.
For the country of residence of international migrants, see MIGCTRY5 (Country of residence 5 year ago).
